- 62 - the year in the General and Self-Sufficing Region. Only about 40 percent of then used any hired labor during the year, and they aver­ aged only about two man-months. A large part of this was seasonal labor hired to transplant tobacco and, in the late surlier, to cut and house the tobacco. The survey made the third week in September probably caught the end of the tobacco harvest only in some areas. Images paid by tobacco farmers were about 25 cents ah hour in September, about the.same as in March and May (table 46). This was a little below the regional average hourly wage. Tobacco farmers in this region probably operated smaller farm enterprises than farmers in the tobacco sub-areas of the more commercial type-of-farming regions. Dairy, cattle and tobacco farmers made up only a third of the farmers in this region. The few truck farmers use a little less labor than the cattle farmers. The farmers primarily raising poultry, potatoes or hay used even less. The farmers classified as operating "other” types of farms made up nearly half of the farmers in the region and used very small amounts of hired labor. The majority of these farmers produced primarily for home use. Three-fourths of the "other” group did not hire any farm work done during the year. Many of those who used hired labor were corn farmers, and a few were fruit farmers. The cash wages paid for farm work in this region did not vary much from one type of farm to another or with the type of farm work done except for the fall harvest. Of the major types of work sur­ veyed in September, only workers baling hay and picking apples were paid higher than average wages for the region. About 80 percent of the workers doing these jobs were seasonal workers. Many of the apple pickers were crew workers. This was the only type of farm work surveyed in this region for which a large proportion of the workers were employed in crews. �

in the Cbm Belt. 10/ Today, the average farm of each of the major types in the Corn Belt is a. family enterprise. In September when labor requirements were relatively high, the average number of workers employed per farm varied little between the major types of farms. It varied only from a low of 1.3 on com farms with other crops as the secondary source of farm income and on poultry farms to a high of 1.8
